I planted the bulk of my vegs today.

I'm in 9b, Central Florida.

I had planted some peppers, crookneck squash and a few tomatoes about four weeks ago knowing we might have some sub-freezing temps but I wanted to see how they would do if I covered them. Sure enough, about three weeks ago it went below freezing overnight. I covered them all and didn't lose any.

I planted several seeds just before Thanksgiving. I always plant more than I need so that I will have plenty to choose from and then I give away what I don't use. Today I planted about twenty tomatoes, a couple more peppers and a couple of cukes.


The tomatoes ...

Rutgers
Golden Jubilee
Arkansas Traveler
Big Beef
Manalucie
Flora Dade

The peppers ...

Red Bell
Jalapeño
Red Hot Cherry
Cubanelle
Anaheim


I will plant some Romas and some Super Sweet 100's when the seedlings get a little bigger.

I had one Big Beef that made it through the hot summer and it started yielding fruit before it got so cold.
I covered it up and it will have some more ready to pick in two or three weeks.
